Chelsea out-cast Victor Moses is close to signing for Fenerbahce on a short-term contract after losing his place at the Premier League side.

 Moses who has struggled to make an impression this term under coach Maurizio Sarri, have reportedly passed a medical at Fenerbahce ahead of the proposed deal.

The 28-year-old had the opportunity to move to China permanently but he rejected the offer to seal a temporary move Turkey until the end of the season.

The Nigerian has made just five appearances this campaign for the Blues, having thrived as a wing-back during former boss Antonio Conte's reign where he won the league and FA Cup titles.

However, he has seen his chances limited since the arrival of Sarri from Napoli, and now the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner will look to resuscitate his career in Turkey.

The former Nigeria international who joined Chelsea from Wigan Athletic for £9m in 2012, has netted 18 times in 128 appearances for the club.

Moses whose contract with the Blues runs until the summer of 2021, has had loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke City and Westham United.

Fenerbahce who are fighting for survival in the Turkish Super Lig, having won just three league games are expected to issue an official statement soon in regards to the transfer.
